Paper calculates ball number of links using Lorentz geometry and circle packing.

We discuss closed symplectic 4-manifolds which admit full symplectic packings by $N$ equal balls for large $N$'s. We give a homological criterion for recognizing such manifolds. As a corollary we prove that ${\Bbb C}P^2$ can be fully packed by $N$ equal balls for every $N\geq 9$.

We study the 3-dimensional combinatorial Yamabe flow in hyperbolic background geometry. For a triangulation of a 3-manifold, we prove that if the number of tetrahedra incident to each vertex is at least 23, then there exist real or virtual ball packings with vanishing (extended) combinatorial scalar curvature, i.e. the…

After having investigated the regular prisms and prism tilings in the $\SLR$ space in the previous work \cite{Sz13-1} of the second author, we consider the problem of geodesic ball packings related to those tilings and their symmetry groups $\mathbf{pq2_1}$. $\SLR$ is one of the eight Thurston geometries that can be de…

Let M be a closed symplectic manifold of volume V. We say that M admits an unobstructed symplectic packing by balls if any collection of symplectic balls (of possibly different radii) of total volume less than V admits a symplectic embedding to M. In 1994 McDuff and Polterovich proved that symplectic packings of Kahler…

The paper connects Apollonian packings to knot theory and improves link representations.

In this paper, we study the geometric aspects of ball packings on $(M,\mathcal{T})$, where $\mathcal{T}$ is a triangulation on a 3-manifold $M$. We introduce a combinatorial Yamabe invariant $Y_{\mathcal{T}}$, depending on the topology of $M$ and the combinatoric of $\mathcal{T}$. We prove that $Y_{\mathcal{T}}$ is att…

We completely solve the symplectic packing problem with equally sized balls for any rational, ruled, symplectic 4-manifolds. We give explicit formulae for the packing numbers, the generalized Gromov widths, the stability numbers, and the corresponding obstructing exceptional classes. As a corollary, we give explicit va…

Defines a distance function on a manifold using symplectic embeddings and recovers the metric.

Let $G=(V,E,w)$ be a finite, connected graph with weighted edges. We are interested in the problem of finding a subset $W \subset V$ of vertices and weights $a_w$ such that $\frac{1}{|V|}\sum_{v \in V}^{}{f(v)} \sim \sum_{w \in W}{a_w f(w)}$ for functions $f:V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that are `smooth' with respect t…

We prove that the space of symplectic packings of ${\Bbb C}P^2$ by $k$ equal balls is connected for $3\leq k\leq 6$. The proof is based on Gromov-Witten invariants and on the inflation technique due to Lalonde and McDuff.

The paper solves symplectic embedding problems in higher dimensions, proving new embedding conditions.

Roughly speaking, let us say that a map between metric spaces is large scale conformal if it maps packings by large balls to large quasi-balls with limited overlaps. This quasi-isometry invariant notion makes sense for finitely generated groups. Inspired by work by Benjamini and Schramm, we show that under such maps, s…

We suggest several mathematical counterparts to the idea of "effective degrees of freedom" and formulate specific questions, much of which are inspired by Larry Guth's results and ideas on the Hermann Weyl kind of asymptotics of the Morse (co)homology spectra of the volume energy function on the spaces of cycles in bal…

We define a capacity which measures the size of Weinstein tubular neighbourhoods of Lagrangian submanifolds. In symplectic vector spaces this leads to bounds on the codisc radius for any closed Lagrangian submanifold in terms of Viterbo's isoperimetric inequality. Moreover, we prove a generalization of Gromov's packing…

It has been pointed out to the author by David Glickenstein that the proof of the (closely related) Lemmas 1.2 and 3.2 in the title paper is incorrect. The statements of both Lemmas are correct, and the purpose of this note is to give a correct argument. The argument is of some interest in its own right.

What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves. The simplest ones are similar to the seamlines of a tennis ball, others e…

We consider symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian torus actions which are "almost but not quite completely integrable": the dimension of the torus is one less than half the dimension of the manifold. We provide a complete set of invariants for such spaces when they are "centered" and the moment map is proper. In partic…

This paper optimizes neural network training by packing multiple models on a single GPU.

Thurston's sphere packing on a 3-dimensional manifold is a generalization of Thusrton's circle packing on a surface, the rigidity of which has been open for many years. In this paper, we prove that Thurston's Euclidean sphere packing is locally determined by combinatorial scalar curvature up to scaling, which generaliz…

Circle packings on compact surfaces simplified.

From the geometric study of the elementary cell of hexagonal circle packings --- a flower of 7 circles --- the class of conformally symmetric circle packings is defined. Up to Moebius transformations, this class is a three parameter family, that contains the famous Doyle spirals as a special case. The solutions are giv…
